Lyrics:
In my dreams I'm dying all the time
Then I wake, it's kaleidoscopic mind
I never meant to hurt you
I never meant to lie
So this is goodbye?
This is goodbye
Tell the truth, you've never wanted me
Tell me
In my dreams I'm jealous all the time
When I wake, I'm going out of my mind
Going out of my mind
